PunkTheFunk 124,469 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 If I was in charge of directing a tribute (that would pander to the GP) here's what I would've done: It would basically be an homage to the Heroes music video. I would've had Gaga standing in one spot in the center of the stage, without any live musicians or elaborate stage sets, dressed in something like this but full of sequins (and with the lightning bolt on her face and what-not) The only accompaniment is a piano and some strings. She starts off with Life On Mars. After singing the end of the chorus, she moves right into Starman, and as she sings there are holograms of galaxies and stars swirling around her (if that's even possible). She finishes off with Heroes, and the last shot of her is something like this: And as she fades out, she looks up, and Bowie's face gets projected onto the screen above her and she gets a standing ovation. It's very somber but I think the GP would've adored it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She never did that before and I believe that's how David used to perform. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I loved the tribute, it was great. If anything I needed a more vulnerable moment and the band was a bit loud at some points. I like PunkTheFunk’s concept. My idea: Different outfit, More like the one she wore on the red carpet, but lighter, reminiscent of the life on Mars costume 1) In the small circular stage: Starts the same way with the live face projections and “Space Odditty”. Then she sings the first verse and chorus of “Life On Mars”, during the chorus, an holographic explosion of stars like the one seen in the mini-documental. 2) Walking to the main stage: First Verse of “Lazarus”. 3) Main Stage: First verse of "Ziggy Stardust". Finishes with “Heroes”. Here the tech appears again with the Bowie hologram. Gaga plays the dancing piano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free My Mind 2,209 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 would make changes to the song lengths Space Oddity: The right length I would say Changes: increase length Ziggy Stardust: increase length Suffragette City: the right length Fashion/Fame mashup worked for me Let's Dance perhaps a bit longer and would have been nice to hear a verse of Under Pressure Then conclude with the whole of Heroes. but then it would be 15 mins long haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayla 7,595 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Gaga on a piano belting out a tune wonderfully is something I've been missing. Would have been very heartfelt. I also think the performance felt rushed. Perhaps some more space between songs and a bit of a slower tempo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJudas 129 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 The performance was great but it was a shame the songs were all cut down. Was I the only one hoping she'd break into a Fancy Pants verse when she started singing Fame? Lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
